I have in the past mentioned voltus.de to buy Merten Connect z-wave gear. They have a low price, but their customer service (with which I unfortunately have quite a bit of experience) is abominable....

possy ordered some Merten stuff at elektronetshop.de, took them some days (as stated in the shop) but cheaper than voltus.. (thanks possy :-) )

short update:Playing with LMCE being the primary controller and SIS mode (Node id server). I already can add slave devices and controllers to the network with the dongle. Ideally all remote controllers should work as inclusion controllers in this scenario. Sadly enough the ZTH100/200 does not seem to support the inclusion controller mode and only is working as secondary controller for now (Zaerc suggested a long usb extension cord to be able to add all my devices :-) )

I'm trying to get hold of a Tricklestar remote, they state SIS support on the page and it uses newer library versions. And it should be available in Europe (868Mhz)

The SIS mode seems to be the best choice for a Z-Wave network. Some devices like the RA-Plus-W only work in a network with SIS. And we get the node information frame at the time of inclusion, so we can catch battery powered devices that don't send out a broadcast wake up event.

Hi Hari,

I met with Bernard on Friday very briefly. He left me with a 'Golden' pre-production Tricklestar ZWave stick :-) !! What nice guy by the way and he has a mountain of ZWave experience together with years of experience in the home automation business. Anyway i will test the ZWave stick with your driver on Monday (I ran out of the office on Friday without picking up some ZWave kit to test it with!).

Bernard has Fedex'd me a Tricklestar ZWave remote... should get that Mon/Tues :-)... and I have asked him to send you a unit too.

If your available during Monday, even briefly we could test the ZWave stick on one of our test Cores... let me know if you have some time maybe at lunch?

I'm also would like to know that. Because I found that only Seluxit viaSens 100 can work with the latest Z-Wave implementation. Tricklestar USB Adapter looks nice and it's cheaper twice

I found the Seluxit Multisensor which offers motion detection and light level, temperature and humidity measurements. Does somebody test it under LMCE? I suppose that it should work well with Seluxit viaSens 100 PC adapter. But not sure that it'll work with LMCE.

BTW, zwave4u looks very attractive. It offers a lot Z-Wave devices with reasonable price and ships to EU.
